Product Description
For more than a decade, BESTFEEDING has been recognized by midwives, doctors, and nursing mothers as the definitive word on breastfeeding. The culmination of 60-plus years of hands-on experience from three dedicated and internationally respected authors, this newly updated classic blends academic knowledge, clinical expertise, and practical skills to educate first-time and experienced mothers alike. Mothers will find precisely the information they need to help their babies grow and thrive—physically and emotionally—as a result of breastfeeding. The book answers all questions a new mother may have, and it is fully illustrated with dozens of helpful photos and drawings that demonstrate all the dos and don’ts of breastfeeding. In addition to the basics, mothers will find tried-and-true solutions to both common and more unusual problems, as well as remedies for babies with special needs. With its sensitive and informed advice, BESTFEEDING is a supportive reminder of what women have always known: that breastfeeding is, quite simply, the best way to nourish a baby. |

Essential for the first couple months of breastfeeding your newborn by V. Baran (Silver Spring, MD)  4 Stars
March 01, 2009
A friend and veteran mama gave this book to me shortly before my daughter was born. It is a concise but just detailed enough guide to breastfeeding. What sets this book apart from other books on the subject is that it is full of pictures and diagrams that make the mechanics of breastfeeding much easier to grasp. Moreover, it offers multicultural perspectives on breastfeeding that, I imagine, make this book more accessible to moms from a range of racial/ethnic, religious, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Like so many moms and newborns, my girl and I got off to a rocky start...agonizing engorgement, cracked and bleeding nipples...you get the idea. The photographs and illustrations in this book helped me notice and correct my daughter's improper latch.
As a final word, no book can solve serious breastfeeding problems. It is best to meet with a lactation consultant if you are having difficulty, and use books like Bestfeeding for smaller problems along the way.

Excellent photos and illustrations by milkypie (California) 4 Stars
October 26, 2008
What I like most about this book are the illustrations and photos that not only show what to do, but what not to do. Many of the mothers and babies depicted are not white, thus widening the audience. This book does not cover all breastfeeding topics, so you may want another one that covers your specific needs.

Very helpful book!! by Sukkie San 5 Stars
May 27, 2008
I had a midwife reccomend this book to me 17 years ago. I could not afford to buy the book so I checked it out at the public library. This book gave me the courage to keep going and continue to breastfeed my son even when it was very hard at the beginning. The advice in invaluable and the pictures very helpful. I would re-check this book out after each baby I had. Now that I can afford to buy the book, I have purchased it several times as a shower gift to the 1st time mom's that I know.
